I have been an outspoken atheist for a few years now, and I've recently found out that my dads' brother, Ken and family are atheist as well. This surprised me not only because my uncle once was on…Continue

Jim Scotti replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'Zeitgeist, the part on astrology.'"Ah, ok, you're more interested in the astronomical numerology..... You can find almost anything you want if you have so many possible alignments and so on. By those standards, you are probably at least as important.... :-))"
Religious Critic replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'Zeitgeist, the part on astrology.'"The first section of the Zeitgeist movie is based on the work and research of author Acharya Sanning. She has written The Companion Guide to ZEITGEIST, Part 1 which is available from…"
Brian Kinsella replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'Zeitgeist, the part on astrology.'"You're right, but what the film tries to explain is how most religions actually derive from astrology. For instance, it points out that on Dec. 25th, the 3 kings of Orion's belt line up with the north star to point to the spot where…"
Jim Scotti replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'Zeitgeist, the part on astrology.'"I've not seen Zeitgeist, nor do I plan to, but in any form, applied to any "saviors/messiahs/miracle workers", astrology is flim-flam. Astrology is no better than psychic nonsense and pseudoscientific jibber jabber.…"

I know the film "Zeitgeist" is mostly full of conspiracy theory nonsense, but is the part about the astrology surrounding the birth and death of Jesus and all the other saviors/messiahs/miracle workers wrong as well? It seems fairly sound to me, but I've never been able to find a definitive answer.See More
Brian Kinsella replied to Gaytor's discussion 'Why Obama Needs to be a One Term President'"I'll agree that the administration has been a failure, but there is no way I could ever vote for Palin. One of the main things I disliked about W was that every time he spoke, he made America look stupid. And Palin would fit into…"

Brian Kinsella replied to John Locke's discussion 'Agnostic over Athieist'"I would have considered myself an agnostic from ages 15-27 or so. That was after being brought up catholic. I never liked to describe myself as agnostic, because to me, that meant that I had no idea what was going on. But…"
Arcus replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'How (or should) I deal with this?'"My mother is a bit in the same quandry, she still clings to much of the beliefsystem while simultaneously rejecting the Christian God.

Brian Kinsella replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'How (or should) I deal with this?'"Thanks to everyone for your replies. But really, my uncle doesn't seem to be the problem here.

IEatDinosaurMeat replied to Brian Kinsella's discussion 'How (or should) I deal with this?'"Yeah, doing a good thing for the wrong reason can be a very bad thing.

- About Me:
- I've lived in southern Illinois all my life. Raised Catholic, became what I'd call Agnostic around age 17, then an Atheist around 27. I "came out" about a year ago, and have begun being more outspoken about atheism since then.
I am a bartender at a comedy club as well as an amateur comedian. I'm working on becoming a national headliner sometime in the future.
